Dedication to nature and work is a part of the Slejko family. Venceslav Slejko (1913 – 2008) took over the running of the family farm at the early age of thirteen. His father Anton fought on the Russian front, where he fell sick with typhus. In 1975, Venceslav and Zvonko (1949) decided to focus their attention only on wine and fruit growing. Today, Venceslav and his two sons, Borut (1973) and Mitja (1981), are slowly giving up on the fruit-growing business, and focusing all their attention on the winegrowing.
